The Egg Story

How would you like your eggs?

I love mine scrambled with milk. Adding liquid to the eggs makes it less likely to turn out tough or rubbery. So every weekend, scrambled eggs is a must for breakfast.
What if your eggs are like this:

organic eggs

We went home with half dozen of Vitamin E Enriched and half dozen Selenium Enriched eggs. Bought them a bit pricey than the conventional produced eggs. The seller, gave leaflets about the health benefits of eating this kind. So maybe thats the reason why this eggs are a bit pricey :)

Anyway, one Saturday morning, I used 3 organic eggs for breakfast and noticed that the yolks are golden and pretty. The seller was right. But when it was cook, it has an odd taste that I didn't like at all. Guess, I'm not used with it's taste. So hubz just finish the whole serving. From there, I concluded (base on own opinion), the eggs won't be good for scramble purposes. Husband then suggested boiled eggs instead.

Few days from that I tried the boiling and yeah he was right,the odd taste was not that obvious, so that fine Sunday morning, he alone had organic boiled eggs for breakfast. :)

Hence, it's really hard to be a health buff...sigh!

Sidenotes: I tried organic pasta and sunflower mayo, it taste different and it's pricey too. It took me days to finish the cooked pasta and months before I emptied the mayo bottle.

Have you tried organic food. What's the experience, did you like it?

Have a healthy Friday!

Coffee Anyone

I am a coffee lover. Having coffee gives me the relaxation I need while I sit and read my favorite book. The only thing I hate, is brewing extra cups that I cannot consume in one sitting. In the end, the extra coffee goes to waste. You see, making a single cup is not that easy, the ideal measure of the coffee grind depends on its variety. So based on my experience when brewing, I always end up having an extra cup in my pot and a messy kitchen.

Good thing my friend from the US went home with this marvelous Keurig K-Cup coffee. Keurig K-cup coffee allows us to brew a single cup of coffee with the ideal measure of grind coffee of the variety that we choose. Keurig K-Cup coffee is distributed online by AlpineValleyCoffee . Alpine offer a great deal on K-cups on all its major brands such as Timothy’s Coffee, Emeril’s Coffee and Gloria Jeans and others. They also have great discounts to those who will buy 8 or more 22 count packs or more. It made me drool. On my friend's next visit, I’ll ask her to bring home more for me.

If you’re a coffee lover like me, go check their site, who knows you might want to order online.

Books and More

I love reading.

Anything... newspaper specially the classified ads hahaha. magazines too, fashion and home magazines are what I usually buy. and most of all, I love reading books. This is what I collect. Books, books, books.

My relationship with books started when I was in high school, my aunts love mills & boon. I remember reading them and got hooked. From there, I started reading more and more.

Here are some of the books I have:

Did I told you guys I joined the Jane Austen book club that I mentioned here, I'll be starting Persuasion as the read of the month. I'm too excited to start. :)

Anyway....the books, I covered them with plastic and use a bookmark for protection. I hate it to find any folds or flaws, so when someone borrows it I always remind them the golden rule....to take good care of them but somebody did forgot my words... Learn from experience I guess. Learned that not all can borrow unless otherwise trusted. :)

Hmmm....how do you feel about this if somebody did the same thing? What will you do with the person? Would you trust that person again? Just wanted to know?

Have a great day!

Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

One commonly known disease experience by people over 65 is Alzheimer's. It is also the 6th leading cause of death in the US. One commonly recognized symptom is the impaired memory and thinking which to some, believed that it is normal to those who are under stress. As the disease progress more and more symptoms shows which makes it hard for the person to work or take part in day-to-day life.

Alzheimer's treatment and Alzheimer's care go hand in hand. There's no cure yet. But there are things that can be done to slow the progression of the disease. A team joined hand in hand to support the millions of people who are affected with this disease. Alzheimer's Memory Walk is one of the largest Movements for a cause to raise the awareness and funds for Alzheimer support. The Move needs volunteers and it would surely be of help if you’ll be one of those volunteers. So if you’re from the US, join the team and be fulfilled in helping.

It would really make a big difference, together we could make that difference. Let's walk now.

First Time

Curiousity about this book, made me bought it last week.

It was my first time to read a Bob Ong book. ABNKKBSNPLA KO (Wow, I can really read now) is a humorous story which will bring the reader to nostalgia.
That what happens to me, I could not help but laugh. I can relate to each scenario. It was so me in the story :)
But then, there was a part of the book where I almost cried. You know the feeling when you’ve done something bad that can hurt your parents. Wow….heart breaking indeed. But of course in every failure you’ll learn from it. That is what the character did. Learn from his mistakes.

Well… this book is a nice read. If you want a light story get this from the shelf. :) ........................ http://hubbyandwifey.blogspot.com http://jeannycdj.com http://google.com http://yahoo.com

Dark Chocolate lover

I am not really into chocolate eating but there’s this one chocolate that I cannot resist and that is dark chocolate. Among the dark chocolates that relatives and friends from abroad gave me there’s this one that truly fascinated me. Chocolatepath, a store that offers wide variety of dark chocolate. You could enjoy every kind that you are longing for. They have this rich, yummy chocolate that will surely satisfy your heavenly indulgence and because I am a health buff I make sure that the dark chocolate that I eat are those that are sugar free. Chocolate path also has that variety. So you could still enjoy the rich indulgence and the satisfying goodness of the full bodied cocoa bean flavor. Therefore, eating chocolates for health conscious people like me won’t be that of a problem.

Eating chocolates can be enjoyed if the chocolates we are eating are the finest product in the market. Chocolatepath is one chocolate store that is competitive in the market. To find out more hop on to their site and drool over their products.

Happy chocolaty day to all.
